GABBA-Leave Stockholm-(Stigma Records-UK-1999)

Gabba is a london-based British tribute band performing ABBA songs in the stripped down punk style of the Ramones, a style of pop punk they dubbed discopunk and claim to have invented.[1] They formed in 1996 and took their name in 1999. They have released three albums as of 2006.

Gabba was informally formed in 1996[2] by Stig Honda, alleged "professor at the Osaka Rock 'n' Roll High School", who enrolled five students from all over the world to fuse the disco pop of Abba and the punk rock of the Ramones, creating "disco-punk".In 1999, the band took its name of "GABBA, The Discopunk Sensation". The name is an acrostic on the members' nicknames, echoing both the Ramones' "Gabba Gabba Hey" and the name of Abba.Their second recording and official debut album, the CD Leave Stockholm (1999), was produced by Stigma Records (UK) and sub-distributed by Rough Trade Records.According to a band statement [1], " [In
2001] GABBA release their complex 3rd album, the Spanish language
"Tijuana Dance". However, the album was banned and withdrawn from sale
after just 1 week for being "Anti-Establishment", due to some confusion
over Bee Bee's appalling Spanish translations which inadvertently
accused the Queen of England [sic] of being a Nazi Stormtrouper (in a stupor, no less). It is unclear if the album will ever be released again. "(from wikipedia)click me

Notice to the readers of this blog and all the artists.

After 3 years of active collaboration with 3 different blogs(radiomolotov,misterioso impossivel,vita ignes corpus lignum) I decided to open my own blog.

My aim is to talk about obscure and rare productions which I accomulated in my personal collection.Some stuff is mine,some other produced by good friends of mine,some other by bands/artists whom I do not know by person.I am only posting here very old stuff that it`s not available now days.

If you are one of those artists and you are not happy to see your tape here then send me a shout and I will remove it as soon as possible.My aim is to get out there this old music that is otherwise forgotten.

If one day I will post some new productions it means that those productions will be by friends of mine whom gave me permission to do so.

Also I will post some of my music or copy art-works,zines,videos and the like!!In future I might re-post some stuff that I donated to the blogs listed above,after all some is my music and all of them are my original rips.

Any questions about my activities here?? Please use the shout box to chat with me.
